Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill will reduce General Fund licensing revenue collected by the Department of Health and Human Services by $160 annually beginning in fiscal year 2018-19 due to allowing a person to care for up to 4 children in the person's home without that person's being required to become certified as a family child care provider. Currently there are two providers that fall into this category and the current license fee is $160 every 2 years.
